The carbon is a nice material. Very OE like. There is a nice texture to it and its not glossy at all which I love about it.

Di NOC 3M has some stupid texture on it but thats what probably he used.
I used HEXIS carbon fiber vinyl
Same thing with air release channels but doesnt have unrealistic texture like the 3M di noc...

Again good for you. Seems like you know your vinyl if you work in that line of work.

The hard part was stretching it on the two side pieces that extend into the cuby area. Other then that it was easy.

Thanks! The vinyl stretches easily so its kinda easy to work with. I didn't pay for it but my friend said it was a couple hundred but again he bought a lot of vinyl.
